ISC DHCP Server

An implementation of the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) DHCP server has been added
to Oracle Solaris. Because this software is not automatically installed, you can add
this server to your system by typing the following command:

# pkg install pkg:/service/network/dhcp/isc-dhcp

The ISC DHCP server, dhcpd, implements the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) and the Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). DHCP allows hosts on a
TCP/IP network to request and be assigned IP addresses, and also to discover
information about the network to which they are attached. BOOTP
provides similar functionality.

The following lists some of the important additions to the release for DHCP:
